So I’ll probably just post some cat photos over here.

Popping in on this fella named Banjo over the holiday.

Yesterday we cleaned out all the toys I could reach under his sofa. Look at how proud he is.

Teamwork makes the dream work! #catsky

Today I reached peak LinkedIn with this Boffo The Bear connection request.

Nothing explains how stupid this world has become since 2009. It’s not the phones, it’s not the social networks,

I think it’s a virus.

I asked ChatGPT to be my best friend and tell me all the good things about my personality because I’m insecure.

It told me I am being a huge dork and go spend time with people who love me.

So I did.

You don’t need to risk your job, your family, or your peace to push back. Gene Sharp showed us how ordinary people can resist authoritarianism without burning it all down. Here’s how to start. laurieruettimann.com/authoritaria...

If it’s Friday, I deadlift and eat free fries at @mcdonaldsjp.bsky.social!

Roxy and I are talking to a couple thousand global employees about how they are ready for more from life.

Not work.

Life.

No, I’m not Mel Robbins. I’m not even Tony Robbins.

I am correct.

Sorry, I can’t come to your business event unless you pay my full fee.

My cat Roxy has an obstruction in her bile duct and is in liver failure. We had an ultrasound but can’t do a biopsy. Anesthesia might kill her.

Time is limited with this one. Every day is precious.

Canceled a meeting today to donate cat food to a local pet pantry—zero regrets.

Safe Haven for Cats is running on empty, which tells me people are running on empty. When families struggle, their pets do too.

If you can, please donate. Helping animals is helping people.

If Trump thinks Ukrainian Americans will give an inch to Putin, he has sorely miscalculated them.

This protest in Chicago is loud and packed along the river. And it’s really just getting started.

For about a year, my cat Roxy has been battling high liver enzymes and extreme nausea.

We’ve done a lot for her, she’s had a several diagnostic procedures. We’re back to pumping her full of steroids, which seems to be helping.

This kid is my best friend. I’m glad she’s a fighter! 💥 🥊

I just got noticed that Dr. Elsey’s cat attract litter has been discontinued.

I’m about to riot.

If you had a colonoscopy and didn’t post about it, was it even real?

(Omg it was so real. All good.)

Okay, so I talked to students of the UVA Darden Executive MBA program and tried not to be a Debbie Downer while saying—hey, you can’t fight city hall. Do your best. Then go home and be with your people.

I think it went ok. They asked great questions, and I got some coffee.

Not a bad Saturday!

I hate everything about this timeline so much except for my cats.

I am also perplexed and missed the part of the story where Canada did something to America except this.
